Image source: Getty Images The UK economic situation right now isn’t the best. Yet some sectors can perform well even during tough periods. I’ve spotted a popular UK stock that’s fallen 14% over the last year. However, when I think about how business could be positively impacted by things over the coming year, it could do well. Addressing the share price fall I’m talking about Auto Trader Group (LSE:AUTO). Put simply, it’s the UK’s leading online automotive marketplace. It makes money as dealers pay to list their vehicles and pay subscriptions to gain access to tools and exposure. Part of…

Image source: Getty Images FTSE 100 emerging markets specialist bank Standard Chartered (LSE: STAN) is on a strong bullish price run. In fact, it is trading around prices not witnessed since early December 2013. Some investors might see this trend as unstoppable and seek to jump on the buying bandwagon. Others may think it cannot possibly continue much longer and avoid the stock. Neither view is conducive to making big long-term profits from stock investment, in my experience. This comprises three decades as a private investor and several years as a senior investment bank trader before that. The only question…

Image source: Getty Images With Summer holidays now but a distant memory for many investors, like others I have been adding shares to my portfolio over the course of September. I bought shares in four different companies for my SIPP over the past month. Here they are. Long-term growth story Two of the shares are UK companies I think have strong long-term business growth prospects. One was new to my SIPP — Anpario (LSE: ANP). The company makes animal feed additives. Going back a few years, Dechra Pharmaceuticals was a great stock market success story before being taken private. Dechra’s…
Image source: Getty Images When it comes to growth stocks, most investors instantly think of sectors like technology, aerospace or even niche consumer brands. And with Rolls-Royce, Games Workshop and 3i Group all sitting comfortably among the most popular FTSE 100 picks this year, that instinct makes sense. But sometimes the biggest growth stories come from industries not typically seen as exciting. One of those, in my opinion, is insurance. A rallying growth stock Prudential (LSE: PRU) has quietly become one of the standout performers on the FTSE 100. Its share price is up 62% year to date, making it…
In 2013, California launched its cap-and-trade program, a carbon credit market that allows companies and governments to engage with offset projects that incentivize investments in planting trees, preserving forests, or even supporting solar farms. The idea is to reduce or offset greenhouse gas emissions by purchasing credits for nature-based projects. Initially, the Yurok Tribe expressed interest in joining the program. The market would provide additional revenue and would enable the Yurok to play an additional role in addressing climate change. But Frankie Myers, an environmental consultant for the tribe and former vice chairman, had doubts. Secure · Tax deductible ·…
Image source: Getty Images At the start of the year, there was a lot of hype around the Rolls-Royce (LSE:RR) share price. After all, Rolls-Royce stock had doubled in value during 2024. So if an investor had decided to step in and buy £2k worth of the stock in January, here’s what it would currently look like. Smiles all round Back at the start of January, the share price was 569p. At the moment, it’s at 1,181p. This represents a 107% return in less than a year. Therefore, the £2k would now be worth £4,140. Of course, this profit is…
This article was produced with the support of AUDA NEPADDuring Africa Climate Week, held from 8 to 10 September in Addis Ababa, Nardos Bekele-Thomas (right), CEO of the African Union Development Agency (AUDA-NEPAD), launched a continent-wide consultation on what could become Africa’s most significant intervention in global carbon markets. The African Integrity & Equity Principles for Carbon Markets represent a bold attempt to rewrite the rules of engagement, ensuring that Africa captures its fair share of climate finance while maintaining the highest standards of environmental and social integrity. Bekele-Thomas said: “We are launching consultations on a strategic initiative that will shape…
Image source: Getty Images Legal & General (LSE: LGEN) shares have dropped 11% from their 7 February one-year traded high of £2.65. As a stock’s dividend yield moves in the opposite direction to its price, this has increased its return to 9%. So, investing £11,000 (the average UK savings) would make £990 in first-year dividends. This would rise to £9,900 after 10 years and to £29,700 after 30 years. That said, using the standard investment practice of ‘dividend compounding’ would increase these returns dramatically. This involves reinvesting the dividends back into the stock that paid them. Doing this would make…
